Looks great Alex. The last one is amazing. Render time?
Also, I'm curious whether you try to close all the "holes", so to speak, in your character meshes (creating a volume for SSS), or whether they're hollow shells, more like lampshades...

Thx BbB!
Hm, the render time?
It was rendered by Indigo v1.0.9, so I dont have the info.
I'l say araund 8 huurs (?) on a quad core.
The meshes are not closed. In the future I'm planing to make
an sss map - put more ore les sss there where I need it.

Chears!

Interesting. I tried to apply SSS to a non-closed volume before and it rendered "hollow", bit like a lampshade or a balloon. Had to spend hours closing nostrils, eyes, mouth...
It looks much better in your render...

Did you make the minotaur ? What tools ? Looks impressive, too bad you used 1.0.9 for displacement...

My latest (and boring) job:
Window corner

That looks great! Looks exactly like a photo.

That's some serious window there.

I agree that some fine work you got there

yet the best modelled [EDIT] corner of a [/EDIT] window, rendered in Indigo, ever

(I guess)

better?

Kram1032:
NOT! Its only a little corner of a window - not a whole window. I would be impressed if there were blinds between the two pains of glass.

No, seriously I am joking - this is awesome stuff!!!

aleksandera's chic is also pretty damn cool - just how I like 'em: wet and naked. The bald thing must be an acquired taste...

CTZn:
Modeled in ZB. Displacement maps generated in ZB and they dont work in Indigo. There is only one high poly mash and two instances. The chick is
pure polimodeling.
Phr0stByte:
There is some hair, but this is only a region render.
Caronte:
Nice model. Just wonder, how much can you earn with stuff like this?

Chears!

I would not say that, just looks like they need a negative offset. If you have a chance, add and/or edit the <c> xml tag in displacement_map, like so:

Code: Select all

	<displacement_map> 
			<uv_set>default</uv_set> 
			<path>textures\MAT_DISP-pCube2.tga</path> 
			<exponent>1</exponent> 
			<b>0.5</b> 
			<c>0.5</c> 
	</displacement_map>

but with a negative value for <c>. That's what I would try before saying ZBrush maps do not work with Indigo

Also ZBrush outputs the depth of the displacement map, it's a float value wich should be used as the offset. I've read that in a ZBrush to Maya workflow pdf IIRC.

It was a time where I could have been a modeling competitor...

Depends of the client, If they have a good watch, then you can increase the invoice amount
